Book description
More adventures of the irrepressible Iggy as told by her sister Flo, by
Jenny Valentine, winner of the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize for her
debut novel, Finding Violet Park.
This is the third outing for Jenny Valentine's endearing siblings, and
this time they're full of plans for the school holidays.
Will they go camping, or to the seaside? Or have Mum and Dad got
something entirely different up their sleeves? Whatever they do, readers
can be sure of plenty of laughter.
Each chapter is a complete and satisfying story in its own right,
perfect for newly-confident readers to enjoy alone, or for reading aloud
at bedtime.
Illustrated throughout in with black & white line drawings by Joe
Berger, who was nominated for the Booktrust Early Years Award for his
picture book, Bridget Fidget. Praise for Iggy and Me
